10. Thank you for all the wonderful recipe documents you shared with us and for being so accepting and willing to learn from the students. You created a very affordable, collaborative and creative forum for idea exchange, continued learning and professional development for event managers/producers. My agency often lacks funding to be able to send me to training, but I am truly glad I found your site and could afford to take this training.
